Super Science Saturday is a once a month, ALL DAY event filled with hands-on science activities exploring the month’s theme. In addition to experiments throughout the day, guests receive a complimentary museum tour and zip line (weather dependent). Come all day or just for the activities you want! At only $10/person or a maximum cost of $40/family, this is the perfect inexpensive learning experience for the whole family! This month we are exploring DNA. Join us on a microquest to discover the ins and outs of this amazing code of life!

Activities are for all ages. All children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times.
